dine-in seating. Instead, the restaurant will offer drive-through service and walk-up window
service only. The drive-through lane will provide stacking for ten vehicles which meets code. An
outdoor seating area would be provided in front of the building under the main building canopy
facing Randall Road for walk-up customers. The outdoor seating area would be enclosed by a 3.5-
foot high open aluminum fence for added safety due to its proximity to the drive-through lane exit.
The property would not have direct access to Randall Road. Similar to the other outlots part of the
Walmart and Sam's Club shopping center, access to the property would be provided via the main
private drive west of the building,which provides access to both Bowes Road further to the north
and Randall Road via the private access drive to the south. 32 parking spaces are proposed on the
site,which meets the zoning ordinance requirement for 23 parking spaces.Three bike racks would
also be installed accommodating 6 bicycle parking spaces which meets the zoning requirement for
3 bicycle parking spaces. The parking lot drive-aisle east of the building aligns directly with the
parking lot drive-aisles on the adjacent properties to the north and south for a seamless vehicular

connection to both adjacent properties. A pedestrian connection would be provided between the
building and the existing pedestrian/bike path along the west side of Randall Road.
The building is designed in the retro,mid-century modern architecture characteristic for all Andy's
Frozen Custard restaurants. The primary exterior building materials are brick and fiber cement
panels. The east side of the building facing Randall Road features a glass wall typical for 1950s
and 1960s diners. The mechanical equipment in rear of the building is enclosed with synthetic
wood louvers.
The building meets all but one bulk requirement of the zoning ordinance and PAB zoning district
Ordinances No. G32-10 and No. G6-16, all of which regulate the development on the property.
The proposed refuse collection area, which would be enclosed with a six-foot high wall matching
the exterior of the building in style and color,requires a departure from the PAB District Ordinance
No. G32-10. That ordinance requires that the refuse enclosure be attached to the main building for
all new developments within the shopping center. The refuse enclosure would be located in the
northwest corner of the site directly south of the refuse enclosure on the adjacent property to the
north for McAllister's Deli.
The number of proposed wall graphics also requires a departure from the zoning ordinance
requirement. Per the zoning ordinance, a maximum of two wall graphics are permitted. As part of
the signage package for the new restaurant,the applicant is proposing a total of eight wall graphics
(three wall graphics on the north façade, three wall graphics on the south façade, and two wall
graphics on the east façade). Wall graphic departures have been granted for all other outlot
buildings within this shopping center.
The applicant is proposing to install 19 new trees and various shrubs on all sides of the building
appropriate for this size and scale of the development.
The proposal requires development plan approval per PAB zoning district Ordinance No. G32-10
with a public hearing before and a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission
and final approval by the City Council.
The Community Development Department offers the following additional information:
A. Property History.The subject lot is part of Walmart and Sam's Club property,which was
annexed and zoned PAB Planned Area Business District and ARC Arterial Road Corridor
Overlay District in 2006 (Ordinance G114-06).
In 2007, planned development approval was granted to allow for the construction of a JC
Penny's retail store on Lot 1 (south end of the subdivision) through Ordinance G101-07.
However, due to the subsequent downturn in the economy, the store was never built and
the lot continues to remain vacant.
-4 -
Recommendation& Findings of Fact
Petition 28-17
January 8,2018
In 2010,the planned development ordinance was amended in its entirety to modify the site
plan, landscape plan, and building elevations of the Walmart and Sam's Club buildings to
match branding, store layout, and material requirements of the respective companies, and
to amend the allowable land uses for the seven outlots within the subdivision. These
amendments were articulated in Ordinance No. G32-10.
In 2011, planned development approval was granted to allow for the construction of the
Sam's Club Motor Vehicle Service Station through Ordinance G44-11.
In 2012, planned development approval was granted for the construction of Portillo's
Restaurant at 1020 S. Randall Road, and initial site design improvements for the multi-
tenant retail building along Bowes Road (2415 Bowes Road) through Ordinance G43-12.
Final planned development approval for the construction of the retail building was granted
through Ordinance G64-12.
In 2014, Ordinance G32-10 was amended to provide for additional permitted uses within
the retail building at 2415 Bowes Road through Ordinance G72-14.
In February 2016, Ordinance G6-16 granted approval of the resubdivision of Lot 2 into
five new outlots south of Sam's Club Motor Vehicle Service Station, and the development
plan approvals for Lot 1 (1190 S. Randall Road, multi-tenant retail building) and Lot 2
(1180 S. Randall Road, Fuller's Car Wash). The ordinance also amended Ordinance G32-
10 to extend the allowance for additional permitted uses to the five new outlots.
In August 2016, Ordinance G37-16 granted development plan approval for the retail
building on Lot 4 (1120 S. Randall Road) for Denny's and McAllister's Deli restaurants.
B. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning. The lots immediately to the north, south and west
are all part of the Walmart and Sam's Club shopping center and are also zoned PAB
Planned Area Business District. Lot 4 to the north is improved with a multi-tenant
commercial building home to Denny's and McAlister's Deli restaurants.The Lot 2 adjacent
to the south is improved with Fuller's Car Wash building.
The area located to the south of the shopping center is located within unincorporated Kane
County.The area is in agricultural use and is designated for commercial development when
annexed to the City of Elgin.
The properties located to the east, across Randall Road, are zoned PMFR Planned Multiple
Family Residence District and are improved with townhomes part of the Willowbay
Subdivision.
C. Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is designated "Highway Commercial" in the
City's 2005 Comprehensive Plan and Design Guidelines. Areas designated Highway
- 5 -
Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 28-17
January 8, 2018
Commercial typically serve surrounding neighborhood areas, but also larger trade areas
connected by the arterial street system. They may include all of the commercial uses found
in the mixed-use centers. In addition, they typically include highway-serving uses such as
fast food restaurants, auto-oriented uses such as tire stores, service stations, auto parts
stores, and other stand-alone retail uses. These commercial areas are generally auto
dominated with few pedestrian amenities.
D. Zoning District. The purpose and intent of the existing PAB Planned Area Business
District is to provide commodities and services to several neighborhoods, and in some
instances to a community wide or regional supporting population. The PAB zoning district
is most similar to, but departs from the standard requirements of the AB zoning district.
The AB zoning districts are limited by the applicable site design regulations to an
intermediate scale of development relative to NB neighborhood business district and the
CC 1 center city district.
E. Trend of Development. The subject property is part of the Walmart and Sam's Club
shopping center along Randall Road.The Randall Road corridor continues to develop with
auto-oriented commercial uses which serve not only the immediate neighborhoods, but
residents from a larger region as well.
The subject property is part of a five-lot subdivision of the original Lot 2 of The Elgin
Walmart/Sams Club Subdivision. Three of the five lots are already developed with
commercial uses.The property adjacent to the north includes two sit-down restaurants,one
of which(McAlister's Deli) also includes one drive-through lane.
The proposed quick-service restaurant with walk-up and drive-through service is consistent
with the commercial trend of development along Randall Road and the commercial uses
on the adjacent properties.
FINDINGS
After due notice as required by law, the Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a public
hearing in consideration of Petition 28-17 on January 8, 2018. Testimony was presented at the
public hearing in support of the application. The Community Development Department submitted

January 8, 2018
STANDARDS FOR MAP AMENDMENTS
A. Site Characteristics Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
zoning district with respect to its size, shape, significant natural features including
topography, watercourses and vegetation and existing improvements.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to
its size, shape, significant features including topography, watercourses, vegetation, and
existing improvements. The subject property (Lot 3) is 30,858 square feet in area. The
property is currently vacant and undeveloped. There are no significant natural features
including topography (the property is relatively flat), watercourses, vegetation, and
existing improvements that would have a negative impact on the proposed development.
B. Sewer and Water Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended zoning
district with respect to the availability of adequate Municipal water, wastewater treatment
and stormwater control facilities.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to
the availability of adequate water, sanitary treatment, and storm water control facilities.
The existing water and sanitary sewer facilities are available and located within the
shopping center access road west of the property. The proposed building will connect to
the existing facilities and can be adequately served by municipal services.
The stormwater detention facility located in the southwest corner of Walmart and Sam's
Club shopping center was designed to accommodate commercial development with
accessory parking lots on all outlots. Adequate capacity exists within the existing
stormwater infrastructure to serve the proposed development. The proposed development
will connect into the existing stormwater facilities.
C. Traffic and Parking Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
zoning district with respect to the provision of safe and efficient on-site and off-site
vehicular circulation designed to minimize traffic congestion.
1. Nonresidential land uses should be located central and accessible to the area or
population served without requiring traffic movements through or into a residential
neighborhood. Nonresidential land uses should not be located within residential
neighborhoods, but on their periphery as defined by the "arterial street"[SR]system.
2. The number of locations for vehicular access to or from a public right of way should be
limited to those which are necessary for the reasonable use of the property and
consistent with current traffic engineering standards. Property with two (2) street
frontages should not be permitted access to or from the street with the higher degree of

continuity within the overall street system or with the higher traffic volume. With the
exception of residential driveways, locations for vehicular access to or from a public
right of way should be aligned directly opposite existing or approved locations across
the street.
The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to the provision
of safe and efficient on-site and off-site vehicular circulation designed to minimize traffic
congestion. The property has frontage along Randall Road, but the proposed development
will not have direct access to Randall Road. The subject property has access to Bowes and
Randall Roads by means of existing private access drives located throughout the shopping
center. The locations of the access points to Bowes and Randall Roads, and the required
improvements to those roads,have been installed in accordance with an intergovernmental
agreement between the City of Elgin and Kane County. The applicant is not proposing to
make any changes to the current off-site vehicular circulation.
The proposed site plan is designed for safe and efficient on-site circulation. The proposed
building is located near the middle of the site with surface parking lots immediately to the
east and north of the building. The main access to the site is provided via one driveway
connection to the main private drive of the larger shopping center. The parking lot drive-
aisle in front of the buildings aligns and connects to the parking lot drive-aisles on the
adjacent properties to the north and south.The added connections to the adjacent properties
will improve traffic flow within the shopping center and minimize traffic congestion within
the main shopping center private drive.
The proposed drive-through lane can accommodate approximately ten vehicles with
counter-clockwise circulation around the building. The on-site parking lot would include a
total of 32 parking spaces which meets the parking requirement(23 parking spaces)for the
proposed restaurant.Additional parking,if necessary,can be accommodated by the parking
lots on the main Walmart and Sam's Club lots or on the adjacent outlots.
The proposed development would also include a pedestrian and bicycle connection to the
existing bike and pedestrian path on the west side of Randall Road. Three bike racks would
be provided on site,which can accommodate parking for up to six bicycles. This meets the
zoning requirement(3 bicycle parking spaces) for bicycle parking.
D. Zoning History Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended zoning
district with respect to the length of time the property has remained undeveloped or unused
in its current zoning district.
Findings. The subject property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to
the length of time the property has remained undeveloped or unused in its current zoning
district. The property was annexed and zoned PAB Planned Area Business District and
ARC Arterial Road Corridor Overlay District in 2006. The property is vacant and

undeveloped. The proposal would allow for the new development on the property
consistent with the property's zoning classification, the trend of development along
Randall Road, and the Comprehensive Plan.
E. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning Standard. The suitability of the subject property for
the intended zoning district with respect to consistency and compatibility with surrounding
land use and zoning.
Findings. The property is suitable for the intended zoning district with respect to
consistency and compatibility with the surrounding land uses and zoning. The proposed
restaurant use is a permitted use within the PAB zoning district and is consistent with the
surrounding commercial and retail uses.
F. Trend of Development Standard. The suitability of the subject property for the intended
zoning district with respect to consistency with an existing pattern of development or an
identifiable trend of development in the area.
Findings. The subject property is suited for the intended zoning district with respect to
consistency with an existing pattern of development or an identifiable trend of development
in the area. The subject property is part of the Walmart and Sam's Club shopping center
along Randall Road. The Randall Road corridor continues to develop with auto-oriented
commercial uses which serve not only the immediate neighborhoods,but residents from a
larger region as well.
The subject property is part of a five-lot subdivision of the original Lot 2 of The Elgin
Walmart/Sams Club Subdivision. Three of the five lots are already developed with
commercial uses.The property adjacent to the north includes two restaurants,one of which
(McAlister's Deli) also includes a drive-through lane.
The proposed quick-service restaurant with walk-up and drive-through service is consistent
with the commercial trend of development along Randall Road and the commercial uses
on adjacent properties.
G. Zoning Districts/Planned Development Districts Standard: The suitability of the
subject property for the intended planned zoning district with respect to conformance to
the provisions for the purpose and intent, and the location and size of a planned zoning
district.
Findings. The property is suitable for the intended planned zoning district with respect to
conformance to the provisions for the purpose and intent and the location and size of the
zoning district. The purpose and intent of the existing PAB Planned Area Business District
is to provide commodities and services to several neighborhoods, and in some instances to

similar to, but departs from the standard requirements of the AB zoning district. The AB
zoning districts are limited by the applicable site design regulations to an intermediate scale
of development relative to NB neighborhood business district and the CC 1 center city
district. The proposed quick-service restaurant will provide commodities to surrounding

property is designated"Highway Commercial"in the City's 2005 Comprehensive Plan and
Design Guidelines. Areas designated Highway Commercial typically serve surrounding
neighborhood areas,but also larger trade areas connected by the arterial street system.They
may include all of the commercial uses found in the mixed-use centers. In addition, they
typically include highway-serving uses such as fast food restaurants, auto-oriented uses
such as tire stores, service stations, auto parts stores, and other stand-alone retail uses.
These commercial areas are generally auto dominated with few pedestrian amenities.
ADDITIONAL STANDARDS FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENTS

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DEPARTURES AND EXCEPTIONS
The applicant is requesting the following departures from the requirements of the zoning
ordinance:
1. Section G, "Site Design and Architectural Design" of Ordinance No. G32-10. The
applicant is proposing to construct a refuse enclosure which is not affixed structurally as
part of the primary building wall system, as required by Ordinance No. G32-10.
2. Section 19.50.080, "Wall and Integral Roof Graphics", of the zoning ordinance. The
applicant is proposing to install three wall graphics on the north side of the building, three
wall graphics on the south side of the building, and two wall graphics on the east side of
the building for a total of eight wall graphics. Per zoning ordinance, a maximum of two
wall graphics would be allowed on the building.
Staff fmds the proposed departures are appropriate and necessary to accommodate a desirable infill
development within an existing shopping center.
The proposed refuse enclosure would be located in the northwest corner of the property to
accommodate the highest possible number of parking spaces closest to the building. If the refuse
enclosure is constructed in rear of and adjacent to the building, it would result in elimination of
two parking spaces to provide access by refuse collection trucks. The proposed refuse collection
area would still be enclosed with a six-foot high masonry wall which matches the exterior masonry
material of the building in style and color. Additional landscaping would also be installed around
the refuse enclosure to screen it from the public view. Furthermore, the location of a refuse
enclosures away from the building is customary and desirable for food establishments to minimize
any potential odor nuisance to restaurant customers. The McAllister's Deli restaurant on the
adjacent property to the north also features a detached refuse enclosure away from the restaurant,
which is located directly to the north of the proposed refuse enclosure for Andy's Frozen Custard
restaurant.

Recommendation & Findings of Fact
Petition 28-17
January 8,2018
Eight wall graphics proposed for the building are appropriate and complementary to the retro,mid-
century modem design of the building. The identity of the restaurant is built upon the retro-style
diner concept characteristic for the 1950s and 1960s. The building features a support column
structure which is perpendicular to the building's north facade and extends beyond the roof canopy
of the building. This design element is the most prominent feature of the building designed to
accommodate a unique wall graphic.
As mentioned above, the restaurant does not have any dine-in service. While the restaurant will
provide walk-up window service, it will largely depend on the success of its drive-up window
service. Four of the eight proposed wall graphics are "Drive-Thru" graphics located on the fascia
of the building canopy. The "Drive-thru" graphics (each one eight square feet in area) direct
vehicular traffic to the restaurant's drive-through service while enhancing the retro-design look of
the building.
The proposed departures regarding the location of the refuse collection area and building wall
graphics will complement the design of the building and its use. The proposed departures will not
have any negative effects on the surrounding properties and uses.
